Reseña del editor:

Winner of the 2012 FutureCycle Poetry Book Prize. DEAD WENDY is a sequence of elegiac poems, reflections on broken relationships and unlikely friendships, lyrics—sung, shouted, wept—of life’s raw drama and ultimate tragedy. At heart, it is a love story. The narrative a tapestry of memories brought forth in three distinct voices as each character recounts events, the poems chronicle the last days of a young woman and the two men who loved her—and pursued her beyond death.

As a teenager, he wanted to be a concert pianist. His cat’s name is “Fur” Elise, and his goldfish are called Aria and Goldberg. In college, he majored in philosophy. At one time, he could recite a hundred digits of pi. He once hitchhiked to California. His car is a Jaguar XJ8. He’s been in three motorcycle crashes. None fatal.
